NewbornOxygen saturationPulse oximetry and SpO2OBJECTIVE: To determine normal arterial oxygen saturation (SpO(2)) trend during first 30 min of life and to evaluate for difference in SpO(2) trends in healthy term newborns of normal vaginal delivery (NVD) and elective cesarean section (CS). ...
changes. In this way, the pulse can be detected. Today, such a PPG sensor is usually installed not only in pulse oximeters (e.g. finger clips, in-ear sensors) but also in fitness wristbands. In pulse oximetry, the functionaloxygen saturation(SpO2) is measured in addition to the pulse ...
Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive method for determining the oxygen saturation of the capillary blood (SpO2 value) and thepulse rate. Often, a clip with a sensor is attached to the fingertip or earlobe for measurement (pulse oximeter). The sensor consists of two parts: The light source emits...
Results: A total of 300 newborn data were analyzed. Newborns who were born by cesarean delivery had lower SpO2 than infants born vaginally (p <0.001) and they took longer time to reach SpO2>85%. The median SpO2 did not reach 90% until 5 minutes of life in either group. Significant ...
